Here Comes Forever **SEQUEL** (R5 fan fiction)

Chapter 22

I wake up next to a sleeping Riker, i sit up and look around the room. Were am I? Oh yeah a hotel, after Riker and I got married!!! I smile to myself remembering the other day, and last night (wink wink haha). I look down at the sleeping Riker and decide that i'll let him sleep.

I climb out of bed and look down at the Hawaiian shirt i'm wearing, then i look at my wedding dress just lying in the ground. I pick it up and hang it over a chair, then venture into the kitchen area (it's a big hotel). I open the fridge expecting it to be empty, but i'm greeted with a pleasant surprise.

It's full of food. I make myself a sandwich and turn the TV on. Soon i hear Riker rolling out of bed, then two arms wrap around my neck (in a good way), "hey how long have you been awake?" Riker asks sleepily. "maybe 20 minutes not all that long, wanna bite i'm full?" I ask holding up my sandwich.

Riker grins at me and takes the sandwich before kissing my on the cheek. He sits down next to me one arm around me the other holding the sandwich he's scarfing down. "wow  someones hungry." Riker laughs, "well after last night-" "don't even say it." I interrupt Riker laughs and returns to the sandwich.

"hey  i remember this show!" I cry as i land on Barney. "noooooooooo! This show scared the crap outta me as a little kid! Like seriously who likes a freaky giant purple dinosaur!?" I laugh, "aww is Rike scared?" Riker blushes and slyly reaches for the remote, "no of course i'm not why would i be? besides the fact that, that thing is totally unnatural!" i laugh and hold the remote out of Rikers reach, "nope i wanna see if this show is as dumb as I remember."

Riker sits there pouting as i watch Barney, let me just say the show seems to have gotten dumber, and dumber, and dumber. "ok lets watch something that's actually good." I say flipping through the channels again. Riker gives a sigh of relief, "thank you, SO much." I laugh, "you really don't like that show do you?" Riker shakes his head, "not at all."

After watching TV for awhile and emptying the fridge of all its food we finally decide to head home so we can pack then go were ever Rikers taking me for our honeymoon. "I don't want to wear this dress out there the wedding was yesterday its weird!" I whine.

Riker laughs, "put it on you can't go out there in just my shirt, and i'm sure not wearing the dress!" I look at Riker a sly grin on my face, "what? uh oh no no no Nova no!" Riker says backing up. I grab the dress and run after Riker, luckily (for me) Riker backs into the bed and falls over, then i pounce.

Somehow i stuff Riker into the dress which is weird because he can easily pick me up and toss me around. I'm wearing Rikers clothes and Riker, sadly he looks really good in the dress that doesn't stop me from bursting into laughter every time I look at him. "I can't believe you did this to me." Riker huffs. "why don't you just take it off?" "because i'm not walking into the lobby in my boxers!"

I laugh, "why not? i'm pretty sure LOTS of girls would enjoy that!" Riker scowls at me. "How does the dress even fit you anyway?" i ask. Riker shrugs, "apparently we're the same dress size." I giggle and push Riker out the door and onto the elevator.

Once into the lobby i burst into another fit of laughter. "why are you wearing the dress?" The guy I hand the key to asks Riker. "because he's like that." I say. The guy breaks into a grin, "really? well i am single," he scribbles something onto a slip of paper and hands it to Riker, "call me." Riker looks at me wide eyed and I burst into laughter.

"thank you i'm sure Riker here will consider the offer." I tell him before Riker pulls me out of the door and into the car before you can say 'boyfriend'. "I cannot believe that just happened!" Riker burst put when he slams the door shut. I start laughing all over again, "neither can I! A guy just told you to 'call him'!!" I laugh. Riker crawls into the backseat and pulls the dress off.

"I don't care people in other cars can't see that i'm not wearing pants i'm not wearing that any longer!" I start laughing ALL over again! We drive back to the Lynches house and I run over to my house real quick to pack my bad and put my dress away (a.k.a. throwing it on the bed) then i head back over to the Lynches.

Riker has some real clothes on and has conveniently not told the others about the whole dress incident. Before we left for our little trip we decide to go visit Tiffany in the hospital. The whole drive there Rocky hasn't stopped grinning.

We get there and Stormie and Mark get out of my car (so we can leave once we see Tiffany) and we troop inside. We find Tiffanys room and head over to it, Tiffanys asleep on the bed and she really looks exhausted. The must have heard the door open because she opens the door when we walk in.

"hey guys." she says and even her voice sounds weak, having a baby must really take a lot out of you. "hey Tiffany how do you feel?" I ask. Tiffany smiles and points towards a crib thing a little ways away from the the bed. "tired, but so happy, my baby."

We all crowd around the crib and look inside. There is a very tiny baby, her skin is wrinkled and she had dark brown hair. Her eyes are closed but are most likely a grey blue like most new borns. Her hands are clenched into little fists and are absolutely tiny. "Grace." I murmur.

She opens her eyes as if she heard me, maybe she did. She just kind of stares at us then holds an arm up her fingers open trying to grab something. I reach down and she grabs hold of my finger, her hand barely wraps around my finger but he grip is like steel.

"she's adorable." I say looking at Tiffany. The others are kind of cooing over Grace and i ask, "can i hold her?" Tiffany nods, "sure." I reach down and put my hand behind Graces neck so her head doesn't fall back and another under her butt. I gently lift her up and cradle her against my body.

One of her hands go up and grab onto the edge of my shirt while her mouth forms what must be a smile. I smile back at her, "hi Grace, i'm Nova your mommys best friend." I hold her for a few more minutes before Stormie has to hold her, then Mark, Rydel, Ross, Riker, Ryland, Ratliff, Katie, and Hannah. Finally Rocky takes her and hands her to Tiffany, just in time to because Grace was starting to get fussy.

"well uhh your baby is absolutely adorable, but Nova and i need to go" Riker says finally. "ok bye Nova, Riker." Tiffany says and we give everyone hugs and walk out of the room. On our way out of the hospital Riker intertwines his hand with mine.

"is that going to be you in the future?" He asks. I shake my head quickly, "no way!" "come on just one kid." "No Riker i don't want kids" "please for me?" "no." I say firmly but really all i can think is, could i really have kids with Riker?
